24 Hours to Save Lives
September 30 is Medical Teams Giving Day — when we challenge our community to help heal as many people as possible in 24 hours. Because for the millions of people we serve, 24 hours can be the difference between life and death.
Wondering if your gift can really save a life in just one day? YES, it can.
In 24 hours, a child suffering from malaria can receive a dose of medication needed to save his life. But critical medicines, vaccines, and supplies like that are becoming more difficult to keep in stock with recent funding cuts and supply chain disruptions.
You can help make sure that children in crisis have medicines available when they need them most.
Mark your calendar for September 30 and join our community of healers with a life-saving gift.
Save Lives Today
We have big plans for the upcoming fiscal year: save more lives, vaccinate more children against deadly diseases, deliver more babies safely into the world, and feed more people suffering from malnourishment.
But we need your help to do it.
You helped provide access to medical care for over 9.6M people last year. This year, the need is growing, and we need your help to reach even MORE.
You dared to love your neighbors around the world by healing their bodies, minds, and spirits. This year, we need to love even BIGGER.
When you make your gift on Giving Day, you provide access to crucial, life-saving services and supplies:
- Vaccines to prevent unnecessary deaths and the spread of disease.
- Maternal health and NICU supplies for safe deliveries and healthy babies.
- Mental health support and trauma treatment for people who witnessed and survived violence.
SWAG ALERT: This year, we are excited to share that anyone who gives $100 or more will receive a NEW, limited-edition Medical Teams t-shirt!
Start Small, Heal BIG
This year we want to reach even MORE people with loving, life-saving medical care.
Here’s how your gift can help save a life in 24 hours:
- In 24 hours: a child suffering from malaria can receive a dose of medication needed to save his life.
- Medical Teams reaches more than 90% of children in the refugee camps where we work with vaccines.
- In 24 hours, a mother who might have lost her baby can deliver safely because she has access to a fully stocked NICU facility.
- In refugee camps in Uganda and Tanzania, we ensure that 98% of mothers can give birth in a health facility with the support of midwives and doctors.
- In 24 hours, a family can cross the border after a grueling journey and receive the emergency nutrition they need to keep their bodies going.
- Today, 93% of children treated for malnutrition recover under our care.
But what if there were no medications on the shelves? No doctor to staff the clinic or give the medication?
This is why we are calling on you this Giving Day.
Help save as many lives as possible in 24 hours.
